Austin: New Favorite City?

August 04, 2012 by K & L in Dining Out, Food, News, North America, People, Places, Roadtrip 2012

The results are in: Austin is amazing. We definitely need to live here at some point. In the few hours that we spent around town, we walked the super-cool S. Congress strip, ate the best tacos ever [Torchy’s at the South Austin Trailer Park, a food truck/trailer haven], splurged on a "cake shake" [exactly what you think: cake blended into a milkshake], recharged after our sugar coma with delicious iced coffee at a place known for hot dogs [Frank’s, the coolest restaurant/bar/cafe/music venue we’ve ever been to] and found the house of our dreams [a deal at $700K, slightly out of reach, considering our zero-income status right now]. Austin has won the city challenge so far. Special shout-out to Matt Fedor for the air mattress and awesome hospitality!

Family time on Coronado Island last weekend 👨‍👩‍👧🏰😎 (📷: @marchelle_thomson) #takemeback
Spent two and a half days in the mountains on a staff retreat with my coworkers, who happen to be eleven of the kindest, most passionate, most inspiring people I've ever known 🙌 #goteam #alliance #sustainablecolorado
HUGE thanks to my super generous cousin who showed us an amazing time in Steamboat, and hooked us up with this beautiful ranch house for my birthday. It was out of cell range, covered in fresh snow, and filled with family. Just what I wanted 🏂❄️💖 #
